Thierry isn't a chicken shifter—he's a French hen shifter. He won't let anyone call him a chicken, not even if the person doing it is a gorgeous man who saved him from a vicious attack. Okay, maybe not so vicious, since the fox who tried to eat Thierry was the man's five-year-old niece, but still. Bishop is as infuriating as he is kiss-worthy, and Thierry isn't planning on talking to him ever again.

And he doesn't, until he tells his mother Bishop is his boyfriend and that he'll bring him home for Christmas.

Bishop knows where he went wrong with Thierry, so when they meet again because Thierry's car breaks down, he apologizes. He might enjoy getting a rise out of the gorgeous man, but he doesn't want Thierry to hate him.

Apparently, Thierry doesn't, since he told his mother they were dating.

They aren't, although Bishop can easily imagine them together, even though he shouldn't. He promised his sister he would always take care of her when their parents died, and he hasn't changed his mind.

Is there space for Bishop's sister, his niece, and Thierry in his life—and in his heart? Or will Bishop have to choose and possibly ruin Christmas for everyone, including himself?
